Shield Type Rubber Dam for a Longer Service Life
Shield Type Rubber Dam with Modular Design
Shield type rubber dam, composed of air-filled rubber bladders and steel shield plates, serves as a modern alternative to traditional rubber dams. It is perfect for channels, spillways, and various applications that involve sediment, bedload, and floating debris.

Features:
Shield type rubber dam
- Modular design for easy installation.
The modular design allows each steel plate to correspond with a rubber support, eliminating concerns about the overall position of the rubber dam during installation. This design simplifies installation, saving both time and labor. - Easy to repair.
Typically, repairing the entire body of air-filled or water-filled rubber dams can be labor-intensive. In contrast, shield type rubber dams allow for easy repairs since you only need to replace the damaged section rather than the whole bladder. This feature results in significant cost savings for our customers. - Suitable for watercourses of any span.
The shield type rubber dam can be effectively used for both narrow and wide watercourses without requiring central piers. - A longer service life.
The robust steel shield plate not only marks the height of the retaining water but also protects the soft rubber bladder from water. This protection extends the overall lifespan of the dam by shielding the rubber bladder from sharp objects. - Multi-level applications.
Shield type rubber dams are versatile, serving as a water-retaining structure, hydraulic power system, urban landscape feature, irrigation tool, and for flood diversion among various applications.- Power system: These dams enhance hydropower stations' generation capacity by retaining upstream water levels of up to 0.5m above the steel sluice plate. In winter, the shield effectively prevents ice from obstructing the power station.
- Water retaining: The dam helps balance flood discharge ability and maintains upstream water levels. It allows for lowering the steel shield panel without affecting the reservoir's level or power generation efficiency even when flood discharge ability is inadequate.
- Navigation: The simple structure of the shield type rubber dam serves as an excellent sluice gate, enabling smooth ship passage by lowering the steel shield plates.
- Irrigation: The dam accurately manages the waterhead and flow capacity of irrigation channels to ensure balanced water distribution.
- Flood & water diversion: The dam can automatically adjust to maintain low upstream levels, facilitating flood diversion while allowing sediment deposition to wash away.
Shield Type Rubber Dam Suitable for Any Span Watercourse
Shield Type Rubber Dam with Modular Design
Shield type rubber dam, also known as pneumatic shield type rubber dam, merges the advantages of traditional steel and rubber dams. Its structure comprises civil components, embedded parts, shield plates, air bladders, and a pneumatic charging and discharging system. The steel shield plates act as a front water stop, while rubber air bladders support the shield plates. A series of anchor bolts and soft connections construct the overall dam structure, and the pneumatic system provides the necessary power to raise and lower the dam. When fully opened, all shield plates rest on the riverbed, ensuring no disruption to navigation. When fully closed, overflow can create artificially designed landscapes. The dam is easy to install and repair, features a short construction time, and boasts a long service life. It is widely applicable across various fields, including water conservancy, hydroelectricity, water transportation, moisture proofing, and environmental beautification.
